Organization Design

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'A lively, engaging romp through the theories and process of positive change. Studded with current examples of companies that have challenged traditional business models, the book is topical and instantly applicable to the problems faced by contemporary organizations. As an architect who helps organizations to devise space strategies and designs for new workplaces, I was riveted by the similarities between redesigning the organization and redesigning the spaces in which it operates. This book should be essential reading for designers wishing to match their ideas to the mission and key metrics of companies. Highly recommended.'- Professor Alexi Marmot, UCL University College London, and Director AMA Alexi Marmot Associates
